Plasma (physics)

Plasma (physics), matter, usually
gaseous, in which a part or all of the atoms or molecules are ionized. On earth,
plasmas usually do not occur naturally except in parts of flames and in lightning
bolts. The free electrons in a metal can also be considered a plasma. Most of
the universe, however, consists of matter in the plasma state. The ionization
of this plasma is caused either by extremely high temperatures or by radiation.
Scientists can create a plasma by applying an electric field to a low-pressure
gas, as in neon lamps or fluorescent tubes. They can also create a plasma by
heating a neutral gas to extremely high temperatures. Particles in very hot
plasmas acquire enough energy thatfusion
takes place when they collide. Fusion reactions are the heat source in the core
of the sun.

Converting our Energy Sources from Blood
to Air

As we gradually more our awareness from the material
realms tothe etheric
realms, we become more attuned to the source of our energy andsupply.
We find that our supply is all around us, closer than breathing.

Petroleum has been called
the ‘Blood of the Earth.’ Thismetaphor
has been used to justify the mosquitos of the industrial revolution tosuck
out this blood and devour it for supplying our energy needs. This
bloodhas been extracted, burned, spilled,
wasted, fought over, and has now come back to pollute our air and our ground
and our politics in ways never anticipated.

One mosquito says to the
other, It’s OK, there’s still 50 years’supply
left--plenty for us,” not realizing that when completed withtheir
sucking, the Earth will be dead.

In 1879, the British physicist Sir
William Crookes identified afourth state of
matter that is beyond the familiar states of solid, liquid,and gas. Fifty
years later, Dr. Irving Langmuir, an American chemist andphysicist, named this
ionized gas ‘Plasma.’ Our familiar Aurora
Borealis is evidence of the existence of Plasma, by far the most common
form ofmatter. Plasma in the stars and in the tenuous
space between them makes up over 99%of the visible
universe and perhaps most of that which is not visible.It’s like not being able
to see the forest for the trees. We have a practically infinite
supply of Plasma surrounding us and an almost negligiblesupply
of oil that is difficult to extract and pollutes the planet. Thisdoes
not sound like a difficult choice.

One of the interesting properties
of Plasma is that it can beaccelerated and
steered by electric and magnetic fields, allowing it to becontrolled
and applied. It is beginning to provide many practical uses: newmanufacturing
techniques, consumer products, and the prospect ofabundant
energy. Laser technology is one form of its use and we see that
is now experimenting with this as an alternate energy source for rocket
fuel.

One of the more interesting
aspects of Plasma is that it ismoldable by
subtle
energies as well. Those who are able to manifest forminto the material
planes utilize the nature of Plasma as yet-undefined structure. It
is the primary substance of the Universe, akin to Prana.

Thought-forms can influence it. By its very nature,
it wants to combine intomaterial existence
and almost awaits the expression of our desire. Ibelieve
that is in the nature of the Plasma where we will find our expression inthe
coming civilizations. As we learn of our true nature as consciousenergetic
beings connected with the Plasma, we will be able to creatively andresponsibly
mold it for supplying the forms and energies we will need for our survival.

At the Berkeley Radiation
Laboratory David
Bohm began what was to become his landmark work on plasmas. A
plasma is a gas containing a high density of electrons and positive ions,
atoms that have a positive charge. To his amazement he found that
once they were in a plasma, electrons stopped behaving like individuals
and started behaving as if they were part of a larger and interconnected
whole. althought their individual movements appeared random, vast
numbers of electrons were able to produce effects that were surprisingly
well-organized. Like some amoeboid
creature, the plasma constantly regenerated itself and ecnlosed all impurities
in a wall in the same way that a biological organsim might encase a foreign
substance in a cyst. So struck was Bohm by these organic qualities
that he later remarked he'd frequently had the impression the electron
sea was "alive."

In 1947
Bohm accepted an assistant professorship at Princeton University, an indication
of how highly he was regarded, and there he extended his Berkeley research
to the study of electrons in metals. Once again he found that the
seemingly haphazard movements of individual electrons managed to produce
highly organized overall effects. Like the plasmas he had studied
at Berkeley, these were no longer situations involving two particles, each
behaving as if it knew what the other was doing, but entire oceans of particles,
each behaving as if it knew what untold trillions of others were doing.
Bohm called such collective movements of electrons PLASMONS, and their
discovery established his reputation as a physicist.
